Hm, i read that thread before. What i post here is news and not available in your original thread.

The spec has only been officially approved at 30/5 in ITU.
Spec is available for sell from ITU for Swiss Franc 96 since 10/6.
It still need to go through ISO for adding to the mpeg-4 standard.

Now i got a copy of the spec from ITU and i will see what can I do about it :-)
